Need new lens for Canon 7D

[snowbarn16]

I have a Canon 7D with a 18-135 Macro lens and an 18-200 mm lens. I need more zoom so that I can capture details when shooting birds, etc. Recommendations?

I'd say you probably need a better QUALITY zoom. That 18-200 is not the greatest for detail quality.
BIG question here is what is your budget for this purchase?

Up to $1500.00

I'd look for a Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS USM used. It runs about $1700 new. Check KEH, Adorama Used, B&H used, ebay...
There's also the 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS USM which runs about $1500-1600 new. It's a bit more zoom than you have, but the biggest deal will be an incredible boost in quality/ both lenses will be a HUGE boost in quality.
